forces prepare a scheme to break deadlock get to business to make governor charles s deneen united states senator vice albert j hop kins is an alternative plan of the shurt leff-busse-sullivnn-browne alliance in the case they faff to oust him and sent adlal e stevenson as chief executive of the state the allied political nondescripts are hound to get rid of the governor by book or by crook the plan to eliminate the governor from state politics by sending him to the senate is not new before the sensational pro ceedings in the lower house of the legis lature wednesday by which e d shurt leff was made speaker the governor was taken to the top of a high mountain and i showed the glories the senate offered to a man in his position also he was told those glories might be his if he would but reach forth his hand and grab them he deelined to reach he replied to his tempters that he intended to stick around on the job at springfield for the nest four . years after that things happened to dis please the governor when he refused the senate seat he had no idea that they could happen but they did the amalgamated forces now hope he will be amenable to reason so the washington offer is to be repeated they think they indicated to him that his chance to stick around on the ' job at springfield is not as sure a thing . as it once seemed may elect him anyway however since the election of shuttle as speaker of the house the governor has â– stated positively to friends that he would \ not permit himself to be elected to the na . tional senate if he repents that statement â– to emissaries of the amalgamated ' forces ' j when they again approach him their plan '. is to go right ahead and elect him anyway â€¢ always provided of course that they find ' themselves unable either because of pub lie seutiment or fidelity of the state senate to the governor to completely annihilate him by taking his office away from him the amalgamated ones do-t'ot doubt their abrlity to thrcre-tr the senatorsblp on the governor the governor himself does and so do his young men of both the house and the senate but they also doubted the ability of the allies to make shurtleff speaker a doubt the general public as well as politicians shared it takes the same number of votes to elect a united states senator 103 that it does to oust the gov ernor from office the democrats of both houses and the shurtleff republicans number 102 the i democrats will vote for a republican sen ' ator as quickly as for a republican speak ! er and on that sort of a deal same of the republican senators would help along on the theory that they were elevating the governor instead of humiliating him also the allies figure that some of the gover j nor"s young men in the house would be stampeded iuto voting for him â€” men like i church sollitt and butts who make oath they will never vote for the re-election of hopkins see oglesby as governor . the governor could fail to qualify na turally but would he do so ask the allies ' they point out that no mau has ever yet refused election to the national senate just as no man has ever refused a uomina : tiun for the vice presidency though many have sworn they would do so only to eat their owu words and here is the point of the election of deneen to the senate john g oglesby would then be governor which a great even a worm will turn chicagoans work as christ would bishop fallows says commer cial life is no handicap to christian conduct bishop samuel fallows of ihe reformed episcopal church yesterday declared that any man in Chicago engaged in an hon orable occupation could live as jesus christ would live without cessation of his accustomed activities or injury to his busi ness interests lbc bishop not ouly said this was possible but that he believed many Chicago business men and bankers and he named some of the most prominent ones to be concrete examples i believe bishop fallows said that every man who so chooses may do the work of the world to-day actively and well and lire absolutely according to the standard of conduct set by the greatest teacher i believe franklin macveaglt whose business achievements are well known leads that kind of a life the same i think to be true of james b forgan and his brother david r forgan of charles g dawes j v farwell johu g shedd and many others three other men with whom i have come in close contact in a rather commercial way and whom i thoroughly believe are living consistent christian lives are charles a marsh j t richards and george a ogle these are just a few that happen to occur to me there are many others franklin macveagh fully agreed vtuth the bishop that there was nothing irreconcila ble between the life of the modern chiea goan and that of the nazarene why if there were anything about modern commerce he said that was in compatible with the laws laid down by jesus christ commerce as an institution could not stand of course it is possible to live and be a factor in the life of the world to-day and still follow christ iu every act i have read that some men engaged in business life said that if they refused to do certain things which were not iu ac cordance with the life of christ that they would lose their positions that may be true in some cases but what business firm would want to have it known that such conditions existed in its offices mrs

worthy of nofe that a majority of the committee forced the increase on the objectors and the council on monday night will be asked by alderman p.ennett chair man of the finance committee to vote a raise in aldennanic salary from 111,500 to y..j00 a year the committee refused flatly to even consider a plan to increase the salaries of municipal court judgc3 from 0,000 to 10,000 a year the manner of raising the salaries rath er than the increase itself was admitted by three of the objecting aldermen to be their chief objection under the legislative act increasing the annual stipends of the city fathers only those to be elected next april can get the increase to equalize matters the old system of appointing a secretary to each holdover alderman was suggested and an ordinance drawn by no more eminent a reformer than john may uard harlan was subinited to the commit tee this ordinance provides that the mayor may appoint for each ward of the city a secretary who shall assist tie alderman in his duties and for which services he shall receive 2,000 a year this was adopted when the salaries were raised from i.oo a meeting to 1,500 a year the secretary was generally a relative of the alderman who was supposed to have appropriated the additional fee alderman foeil representing the twenty first ward and generally believed to be the mouthpiece of the mayor on the finance committee was the first to raise an objection to the increase i was elected at a salary of 1,300 a year and i believe it would be unfair and unjust to vote myself any more be said as his colleagues gasped in

forces prepare a scheme to break deadlock get to business to make governor charles s deneen united states senator vice albert j hop kins is an alternative plan of the shurt leff-busse-sullivnn-browne alliance in the case they faff to oust him and sent adlal e stevenson as chief executive of the state the allied political nondescripts are hound to get rid of the governor by book or by crook the plan to eliminate the governor from state politics by sending him to the senate is not new before the sensational pro ceedings in the lower house of the legis lature wednesday by which e d shurt leff was made speaker the governor was taken to the top of a high mountain and i showed the glories the senate offered to a man in his position also he was told those glories might be his if he would but reach forth his hand and grab them he deelined to reach he replied to his tempters that he intended to stick around on the job at springfield for the nest four . years after that things happened to dis please the governor when he refused the senate seat he had no idea that they could happen but they did the amalgamated forces now hope he will be amenable to reason so the washington offer is to be repeated they think they indicated to him that his chance to stick around on the ' job at springfield is not as sure a thing . as it once seemed may elect him anyway however since the election of shuttle as speaker of the house the governor has â– stated positively to friends that he would \ not permit himself to be elected to the na . tional senate if he repents that statement â– to emissaries of the amalgamated ' forces ' j when they again approach him their plan '. is to go right ahead and elect him anyway â€¢ always provided of course that they find ' themselves unable either because of pub lie seutiment or fidelity of the state senate to the governor to completely annihilate him by taking his office away from him the amalgamated ones do-t'ot doubt their abrlity to thrcre-tr the senatorsblp on the governor the governor himself does and so do his young men of both the house and the senate but they also doubted the ability of the allies to make shurtleff speaker a doubt the general public as well as politicians shared it takes the same number of votes to elect a united states senator 103 that it does to oust the gov ernor from office the democrats of both houses and the shurtleff republicans number 102 the i democrats will vote for a republican sen ' ator as quickly as for a republican speak ! er and on that sort of a deal same of the republican senators would help along on the theory that they were elevating the governor instead of humiliating him also the allies figure that some of the gover j nor"s young men in the house would be stampeded iuto voting for him â€” men like i church sollitt and butts who make oath they will never vote for the re-election of hopkins see oglesby as governor . the governor could fail to qualify na turally but would he do so ask the allies ' they point out that no mau has ever yet refused election to the national senate just as no man has ever refused a uomina : tiun for the vice presidency though many have sworn they would do so only to eat their owu words and here is the point of the election of deneen to the senate john g oglesby would then be governor which a great even a worm will turn chicagoans work as christ would bishop fallows says commer cial life is no handicap to christian conduct bishop samuel fallows of ihe reformed episcopal church yesterday declared that any man in Chicago engaged in an hon orable occupation could live as jesus christ would live without cessation of his accustomed activities or injury to his busi ness interests lbc bishop not ouly said this was possible but that he believed many Chicago business men and bankers and he named some of the most prominent ones to be concrete examples i believe bishop fallows said that every man who so chooses may do the work of the world to-day actively and well and lire absolutely according to the standard of conduct set by the greatest teacher i believe franklin macveaglt whose business achievements are well known leads that kind of a life the same i think to be true of james b forgan and his brother david r forgan of charles g dawes j v farwell johu g shedd and many others three other men with whom i have come in close contact in a rather commercial way and whom i thoroughly believe are living consistent christian lives are charles a marsh j t richards and george a ogle these are just a few that happen to occur to me there are many others franklin macveagh fully agreed vtuth the bishop that there was nothing irreconcila ble between the life of the modern chiea goan and that of the nazarene why if there were anything about modern commerce he said that was in compatible with the laws laid down by jesus christ commerce as an institution could not stand of course it is possible to live and be a factor in the life of the world to-day and still follow christ iu every act i have read that some men engaged in business life said that if they refused to do certain things which were not iu ac cordance with the life of christ that they would lose their positions that may be true in some cases but what business firm would want to have it known that such conditions existed in its offices mrs

raise in aldennanic salary from 111,500 to y..j00 a year the committee refused flatly to even consider a plan to increase the salaries of municipal court judgc3 from 0,000 to 10,000 a year the manner of raising the salaries rath er than the increase itself was admitted by three of the objecting aldermen to be their chief objection under the legislative act increasing the annual stipends of the city fathers only those to be elected next april can get the increase to equalize matters the old system of appointing a secretary to each holdover alderman was suggested and an ordinance drawn by no more eminent a reformer than john may uard harlan was subinited to the commit tee this ordinance provides that the mayor may appoint for each ward of the city a secretary who shall assist tie alderman in his duties and for which services he shall receive 2,000 a year this was adopted when the salaries were raised from i.oo a meeting to 1,500 a year the secretary was generally a relative of the alderman who was supposed to have appropriated the additional fee alderman foeil representing the twenty first ward and generally believed to be the mouthpiece of the mayor on the finance committee
